Each time your district uses seclusion or physical restraint to treat behavior problems of students with autism, you risk physical and emotional injury to the student, even death, as well as injury to staff. Take a proactive approach to reduce or eliminate the use of aversives, using Positive Behavior Intervention and Support.

Through real-world examples, you learn evidence-based intervention strategies you can immediately apply across situations and age groups to de-escalate behavior — and prevent secluding or restraining the student.

Along with insights on the risks and legal ramifications of using aversives, you get:

• Explanation of how daily transitions can trigger behavioral challenges
• Calming techniques to help students self-regulate behavior
• Checklists to build supportive environments that reduce problem behaviors
• Dos and don’ts of specific behavioral and instructional practices
